SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or BATTERY-

operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

3 ENGLISH

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-

rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic

elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.

However, users of pacemakers and other similar

medical devices should contact the maker of their

device and/or doctor for advice before operating

this power tool.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired or

under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-

ication. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or BATTERY pack, pick-

ing up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools

with your nger on the switch or energising power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-

lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action

can cause severe injury within a fraction of a

second.

9. Always wear protective goggles to protect

your eyes from injury when using power tools.

The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in

the USA.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce

the use of appropriate safety protective equip-

ments by the tool operators and by other per-

sons in the immediate working area.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the BATTERY pack, if detachable,

from the power tool before making any adjust

ments, changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check

for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that

may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing into account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for

safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected

situations.

9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work

gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-

ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may

result in personal injury.

BATTERY tool use and care

1. Recharge only with the charger specied by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of BATTERY pack may create a risk of

re when used with another BATTERY pack.

Use power tools only with specically des-

ignated BATTERY packs. Use of any other

BATTERY packs may create a risk of injury and re.

When BATTERY pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper clips,

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal

objects, that can make a connection from one

terminal to another. Shorting the BATTERY termi-

nals together may cause burns or a re.

4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the BATTERY; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, ush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek med-

ical help. Liquid ejected from the BATTERY may

cause irritation or burns.

4 ENGLISH

5. Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that is

damaged or modied. Damaged or modied

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour

resulting in re, EXPLOSION or risk of injury.

6. Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to re

or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or

temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

7. Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the BATTERY pack or tool outside the

temperature range specied in the instruc-

tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures

outside the specied range may damage the

BATTERY and increase the risk of re.

Service

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

2. Never service damaged BATTERY packs.

Service of BATTERY packs should only be per-

formed by the manufacturer or authorized service

providers.

3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.

Battery powered wheelbarrow safety

warnings

1. This machine cannot be used on the public

road.

2. While operating the machine, always wear

non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,

closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the

risk of injury.

3. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-

rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and

ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the

machine under load will help reduce losing control

of the machine.

4. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and

unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such

as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and

unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,

may cause the machine to lose traction and may

adversely affect steering, braking and stability.

5. Do not operate the machine on excessively

steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of

control, slipping and falling which may result in

personal injury. Slopes greater than the maxi-

mum recommended grade and side grades may

increase the risk of instability and may adversely

affect the ability to stop safely.

6. When working on slopes, always be sure of

your footing, always work across the face

of slopes, never up or down, and exercise

extreme caution when changing direction. This

reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and

falling which may result in personal injury.

7. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-

ping, loading and unloading and never leave

machine unattended on a slope. The machine is

more unstable when resting on a slope than when

resting on a level surface.

8. When stopping on slopes, face the machine

uphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.

The machine is less stable when facing across a

slope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of the

castor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhill

even while the front wheel parking brake is set.

9. When leaving the machine unattended, set

parking brake once the machine is located in a

safe stopping area. The parking brake prevents

unwanted movement of the front wheel and can

improve stability.

10. Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and

secure. In order to reduce the risk of injury, all

ramps must be clear of loose debris and strong

enough to withstand the weight of anticipated

loads that will be moved over them. They must

have adequate blocking underneath and to both

sides to eliminate deections and side-to-side

movement under load. All ramps must be wide

enough to have sure footing while hauling loads

across them.

11. Avoid extending ramps without toe boards

or railings over open spaces. Elevated open

spaces and open trenches invite accidental falls

and increase the potential for serious injury. Use

toe boards or railings on ramps over open spaces

to prevent driving the machine off the ramp.

12. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure

before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels

and open-type carrier front and side walls must be

secure to prevent unwanted movement of these

adjustable parts of the machine.

13. Never operate the machine in an overloaded

condition. Make sure the machine has the proper

capacity rating for the objects or materials that

have to be hauled. Excessive loads will make

the machine more difcult to maneuver and stop,

will increase stopping time and distance, and will

increase the risk of instability.

14. Never operate your machine in an over stacked

condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or

over the sides of the tray can cause the machine

to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.

15. Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.

Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely

to shift which can result in loss of stability and

control.

16. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of

control can increase the risk of personal injury.

17. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety

key prevents unwanted, powered use of the

machine, such as by children or other untrained

or unauthorized persons. Without the key, electric

power cannot be turned “on”.

18. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-

ment prevention function when loading and/

or unloading this machine for transportation,

or moving this machine between different

levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not

exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly

and carefully. Unstable and quick operation

may result in overturn and/or falling.

19. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this

machine.

5 ENGLISH

Operation

1. When operating the machine, stand behind the

machine and hold the handles rmly.

2. Do not operate the machine while riding on the

machine.

3. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.

4. When operating the machine in reverse and

walking backward, watch behind you and be

careful not to slip or trip.

5. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor

because there is a risk of striking obstacles.

6. When operating the machine on rough ground,

decrease speed and exercise caution.

7. When using the machine, avoid soft ground

to prevent overturn due to the shoulder of the

road collapsing.

8. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes

greater than 12°.

9. If you nd an abnormality, stop the machine

on at ground. Before inspecting the machine,

pull the brake lever and lock the brake, and

then turn the power off.

10.

Before operating the machine, make sure that

the lock lever is fully pulled down and com-

pletely locked. If the lock is incomplete, there is a

risk of accident or injury as the carrier or bucket may

be tilted and the objects fall when going downhill.

11. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the

load or obstacles.

Operation on slopes

1. Do not cross on slopes.

Be sure to decrease speed and exercise caution.

3. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the

machine on slopes.

4. As the loads become less stable on slopes,

rmly secure the loads with ropes.

5. As the machine becomes unstable depending

on the condition of the road, keep the load to a

minimum.

6. As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the

height of the load to a minimum.

Never park the machine on steep slopes. Park

the machine on at ground, pull the brake lever

and lock the brake, and then turn the power off.

8. Do not change the direction or speed mode on

steep slopes.

9. Do not release the switch trigger on upward

slopes. The machine may go in reverse and

cause an accident.

10.

Make sure that the remaining battery capacity

is enough before operating on slopes. If the

remaining battery capacity is not enough, charge

the battery or replace it with a charged one.

Loading objects

1. Do not overload objects. When loading

objects, be sure to follow the instructions and

load limits in the manual.

2. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.

3. Load the objects within the carrier or bucket.

If the objects protrude from the carrier or bucket,

there is a risk of accidents due to the objects

falling or contact obstacles such as walls.

4. Be sure that loaded objects are below eye

level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous

because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk

of overturning and injury because the load is likely

to be unbalanced.

5. Load the objects on the carrier or bucket

evenly. If the objects are loaded unevenly, there is

a risk of overturning and injury because the load is

likely to be unbalanced.

6. Before loading the objects or operating the

machine, make sure that the lock lever is fully

pulled down and completely locked.

7. Be sure to load heavy objects rst to keep

balance.

8. Do not extend the front and side rails on steep

slopes. Extend the side rails when lightweight

objects are loaded.

9. When extending the front and side rails, do not

extend them over the extension limit. Be sure

to extend the side rails so that the right and

left sides are the same length, and load objects

evenly.

10. Load and unload objects on at ground.

11. When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket,

hold the handles and frame rmly, and work in

a stable posture.

Maintenance

1. Always be sure to park the machine on at

ground and lock the brake lever before stor-

age or attempting to perform inspections or

maintenance.
